On Jan. 20, the GCAC plans to have a speaker connected with the Senior Bowl.

Gold is the third speaker for the club this football season. Sports analyst and oddsmaker Danny Sheridan addressed the group on Aug. 26, and Kevin Steele, the player personnel director for the Alabama football program, spoke on Sept. 9.

A GCAC annual membership costs $200, which includes the meal at the club's meetings. Non-members may attend meetings for a dinner fee of $25. Those interested in joining the GCAC should email mccormick436@centurytel.net for an application.

The GCAC, a non-profit organization, supports Gulf Shores High School athletic programs by providing equipment, supplies and scholarships. Since 1999, the GCAC has provided more than $100,000 in benefits to local high school athletic programs.
